Toward quantitative whole organ thermoacoustics with a clinical array plus one very low-frequency channel applied to prostate cancer imaging

SK Patch, D Hull, WA See… - IEEE transactions on …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Thermoacoustics has the potential to provide quantitative images of intrinsic tissue
properties, most notably electrical conductivity in Siemens/meter, much as shear wave …

Ex vivo thermoacoustic imaging over large fields of view with 108 MHz irradiation

AT Eckhart, RT Balmer, WA See… - IEEE transactions on …, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Thermoacoustic signals are generated over a large field of view by 900 ns TE 10 pulses with
108 MHz carrier frequency. Test specimens selectively absorb the TE 10 pulse energy …

Thermoacoustic contrast of prostate cancer due to heating by very high frequency irradiation

SK Patch, D Hull, M Thomas, SK Griep… - Physics in Medicine …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Applying the thermoacoustic (TA) effect to diagnostic imaging was first proposed in the
1980s. The object under test is irradiated by high-power pulses of electromagnetic energy …

Volumetric thermoacoustic imaging over large fields of view

MA Roggenbuck, RD Walker… - Ultrasonic …, 2013 - journals.sagepub.com
The thermoacoustic (TA) contrast mechanism relies on rapid tissue heating and subsequent
thermal expansion. TA computerized tomography (TCT) is therefore inverse source imaging …

VHF-induced thermoacoustic imaging of fresh human prostates using a clinical ultrasound transducer array

SK Patch, WA See - Photons Plus Ultrasound: Imaging and …, 2016 - spiedigitallibrary.org
The purpose of this work was to demonstrate that a clinical ultrasound transducer array can
practically detect thermoacoustic pulses induced by irradiation by very high frequency (VHF) …
